Your small scale textile art will never be mistaken for a potholder again! Come create a small fabric collage, learn some basic design, a few stitching and beading techniques, and make a small art-quilt.While you prepare a canvas on which to mount your artwork, Lyric will demonstrate a number of different framing and mounting possibilities suitable for any textile treasure you create.

Supplies:

$10.00 supply fee (covers framing materials)
Fabric scissors
Small shallow bowl or container to keep beads in (“Altoid” type tins work well)
Rubber finger (optional – to help pull your needles… from an office supply store)
Lamp or Magnifying lamp (optional)

Buy a kit ($25) There is no need to reserve a kit. Lyric will bring plenty.

  • seed beads: size 11 and/or 15, 1 tube each of 2 colors
  • seed beads: size 6, 1 tube
  • bugle beads: 1 tube
  • cabochon, button (no shank) or flat bead, minimum 20mm diameter
  • fat quarter or 8×10 piece of background fabric

  • Fabric for back of quilt, 8”x10” or fat quarter
  • nymo or sylamide beading thread: to match your beads or background fabric

Some of my classes get taught all the time, some only occasionally. Picture It Framed is a class that is seldom chosen by guilds and I had completely forgotten how much fun it is!

We spent the morning learning beading techniques and creating a small art quilt then painted gallery wrapped canvases to mount them on. DiannePedersenDianne Pedersen
